It's been awhile since I was excited about a project. The June issue of Popular Woodworking features a Modern Lounge Chair.
It is wood and Danish seat cord. I ordered the brass needed last night. I have wood and seat cord.

I'm using mesquite wood, a brown wood like walnut, but without the purple hue. Check it out.

I built my first chair when I attended a Paul Sellers class at Homestead Heritage in Waco, Texas. It was the Brazos Rocker, his design. It is a mesquite chair.
The class lasted two weeks.

Homestead Heritage still conducts the class with Frank Strazza. Check it out if you are interested.
